It's <em>chemical energy</em>.

It started out as energy carried in solar radiation. It was absorbed by plants, and they stored it as chemical energy in their stems and leaves. The plants got cut down, washed off, and delivered to the supermarket. Your mom brought them home, camouflaged them so they wouldn't look like veggies, and put them on your plate while you weren't looking. Eventually, some of them got into your body, got digested, and their energy got stored in your cells as glucose and fat. When you needed some energy to do something physical or mental, you grabbed some of that energy that you had stored as chemical energy, and used it to operate your muscles and your brain. You used the glucose (blood sugar) first, and if you ever reached the point where that was running low, you started to use the fat that you have stored around in many places.

Answer:

52.47706 mph

54.5 mph

Explanation:

The average speed is given by

$V_{av}=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

$V_{av}=\dfrac{100}{\dfrac{50}{44}+\dfrac{50}{65}}\\\Rightarrow V_{av}=52.47706\ mph$

Julie's average speed on the way to Grandmother's house is 52.47706 mph

$V_{av}=\dfrac{44+65}{2}\\\Rightarrow V_{av}=54.5\ mph$

Average speed on the return trip is 54.5 mph

Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

Luden [163]

Let's call this "certain amount" with a variable, x, (since it's not specified in the question, I will assume that the answer shall just be based on this variable).

So every additional floor will make the building sink by x, and let's make the unit cm, so x cm.

Now we know that the maximum depression is 20 cm, and it is also

x*y, where y is the number of floors.

So we have x*y=20,

therefore the number of floors is:
20/x or This is the answer
